Detectives believe that two groups of men, most of them leaving the same establishment, got into an altercation.

"Things got out of hand and somebody had a gun," Fagerstrom said.

The gunman opened fire, shooting several times before climbing into a dark sedan. He continued firing as the vehicle left, Fagerstrom said.

Deputies nearby arrived moments later to find that most people had scattered and the only ones who remained were the mortally wounded Jones and some of his friends.

Even those remaining were of little help to detectives, Fagerstrom said.

"We're getting almost zero cooperation," he said.

The shooting came two weeks after the last fatal shooting in that neighborhood.

Just after 2 a.m. May 4, Margaret Emmitt was shot and killed as she tried to settle a dispute between two groups of men in the same area of 16th Avenue Southwest.

Detectives have arrested two men in connection with that investigation. One was arrested for allegedly rendering criminal assistance. Neither is believed to have shot Emmitt.

This past weekend's shooting happened even though a patrol car was just around the corner when Jones was killed. The unit was taking part in special emphasis patrols in the area started after Emmitt was killed.
